Who has/had one? I'd prefer a 1st gen for the more neutral ergos, kind of like an early Special vs later Special.
Ideally, I'd like an early 750 to transplant a later 1100 motor into, but the 1st gens are getting hard to find. I'm holding out for a bit to see what turns up. There have been quite a few interestingly priced 1100s for sale lately. I am wondering if the fact that they have been out of production since 2007 has lead to any problems finding parts. I know it has been a revelation how hard it is to find a decent Bandit 1200 motor, and they were around until 2006. Perhaps a stock 920 to de-uglify would be the best option of all, but again, pretty hard to find one in decent shape, or even not decent shape.
On an unrelated note, an absolutely cherry Maxim 11 has just popped up for sale for $1500, but the parts supply issue keeps me from jumping on it. I also seem to have developed an appreciation for twins in my, ahem, not youth.
